Harry

jekyll plugin to have :smileys: in your blogs

Harry lets you use any smiley from the famous emoji-cheat-sheet in your Jekyll powered blog

Other side of Harry also supports animated smileys

How this works

• Harry checks for a valid smiley on emoji-cheat-sheet and for animated emoticons at emoticons-hq
• if smiley is valid it saves the smiley image file to public/smileys/simple/ and public/smileys/animated respectively
• occurance for a smiley:grinning: or (talking) is changed to respective image
• on a non-valid smiley text, it returns it, as it is.
• for example :idontexist: or (itoodon'texist) will result as it is.
• Basically Harry implements a new Liquid Filter, which parse and change smileys accordingly

How to use

• copy harry.rb in plugins directory _plugins/(default)
• pass your content having smileys through new Liquid Filter:Harry. ex. {{ content | Harry }}

for example, your sample blog post in _posts/

---
  layout: post
  title: Voldemort's Last Stand
---
  
  
  Harry Potter: :tophat:
  I know things you don't know, Tom Riddle. I know lots of important things that you don't. 
  Want to hear some, before you make another big mistake?
  
  Lord Voldemort: :imp:
  Is it love again? Dumbledore's favourite solution, love, which he claimed conquered death,
  though love did not stop him falling from the tower and breaking like an old waxwork?
  Love, which did not prevent me stamping out your Mudblood mother like a cockroach,
  and nobody seems to love you enough to run forward this time and take my curse.
  
  So what will stop you dying now when I strike?.
  If it is not love that will save you this time, you must believe that you have magic that
  I do not, or else a weapon more powerful than mine?

  Harry Potter:
  I believe both. :sunglasses:

sample post layout

---
layout: default

<div class="post">
  <span class="post-date">
    <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}timeline" class="timeline">
      {{ page.date | date_to_string }}
    </a>
  </span>
  <h1 class="post-title">{{ page.title }}</h1>
  <hr>
  {{ content | Harry }}
</div>

• it will do magic things after all this.
